And the French host, decoyed in cunning wise

  Thither where the surrounding toils are spread,

  Conducted on that evil enterprise

  By Armagnac, the Gallic squadron's head,

  Slaughtered throughout the spacious champaign lies,

  Or is to Alexandria captive led:

  While, swoln not more with water than with blood,

  Tanarus purples wide Po's ample flood.
